INTRODUCTION

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, what mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, it is the sacrifice of the LORD'S Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. (Exodus 12:14, 26, 27)
Throughout the history of Israel, the Lord always tried to remind them of their past and how they became the people of God, so they will be careful to accord Him all the praise and honour and to live according to His will.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY ON KNUST CAMPUS.

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology was established in 1951 and formally opened on the 22nd January, 1952 with 202 students. The opening of the school attracted some expatriate staff, some of were British and members of the Evangelical Movement. They had accepted the appointment with the mind of reaching out to students with the Good News of JESUS CHRIST. As a result they made every effort to befriend the students and invited them for tea and biscuits while they held Bible Studies. These studies gradually moved from the lecturers' bungalows to the Halls of residence by mid 1950. The years especially until the mid 1970 a few Christian denominational students groups existed among which was the Presbyterian Students Union, (PSU) which met once in a week. The executives of Presbyterian Students Union and the Methodist Students Union (MSU) came together to find a way of meeting of the spiritual needs their members after the collapse of the Sunday morning services conducted by the Protestant Chaplain, this led to the formation of the Presbyterian Methodist Students’ Union (PMSU) in 1985. In the 1997/98 academic year saw the official changing of PSU to the NATIONAL UNION OF RESBYTERIAN STUDENTS OF GHANA (NUPSG) now the NATIONAL UNION OF PRESBYTERIAN STUDENTS-GHANA (NUPS-G) this change took place at the 2003 congress at Presec Legon. The union was formed with the following objectives in mind:

• To bring Presbyterian students in all post-basic educational institutions from Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East, Upper West and part of the Western Regions of Ghana together.
  
• To instil Christian discipline and the fear of God in all members by means of effective witnessing and living exemplary Christian life among others.
  
• To establish branches (of the union) in all post-basic educational institutions within our jurisdiction.
  
• To encourage active participation of members in Y.P.G/J.Y and other local church activities.
  
• To foster cooperation with other Christian movement on KNUST campus and other campuses.

The motto of this union is; FOR ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS GAIN (PHIL. 1:21)
